With the help of molecular imaging with positron emission tomography (PET) researchers have unveiled the possible positive and negative effects of caffeine consumption on human brain. According to the new study, PET imaging with F-18-8-cyclopentyl-3-(3-fluoropropyl)-1-propylxanthine (F-18-CPFPX) shows that repeated intake of caffeinated beverages throughout a day results in up to 50 percent occupancy of the brain's A1 adenosine receptors.
